Handcuffs and 9 year olds!!!!

Greatnan

nanaej - 'All part of life's rich tapestry' was the favourite saying of the lovely Arthur Marshall, but I expect you are too young to remember him!

We once collected scrap newspapers and magazines for charity and my daughter, then aged 10, found a copy of Playboy magazine amongst them. She took it to school and was surprised at how interested the boys were in the pictures. Some parent reported it and I had to explain to the Head - it could have been embarrassing as I was secretary of the PTA and Head of the Remedial Service. Fortunately, he had a good sense of humour (and I think he put the magazine in his drawer!)

Haha! How funny... I have had kids tell me that 'my mummy has handcuffs in her bedroom' before now! Perhaps the head was trying to spare the parents blushes!

Surprised at Fire brigade...my SiL (firefighter) had to go to a local high school to cut a 15 yr old girl out of a locker! The girl had got in for a bet. All part of life's rich tapestry!

Really po-faced Greatnan, just visiting prospective parents trendy, according to my DD they were smiling too after being told why the two girls were sitting handcuffed in hallway.

Love it Flowerof the west, but probably wouldn't have done when still teaching primary children! You never know what children will get up to, but the big question is, of course, how they obtained the handcuffs in the first place. Obviously didn't look good for any visitors-----hope OFSTED
weren't due a visit.That really would have made me giggle!

What could have gone wrong - they were sitting outside the office, perfectly safe. I reckon the unamused teachers were distinctly po-faced

Only trouble is , if anything had gone wrong , ths school would have maybe be blamed. Perhaps that is why 3 teachers did not find it amusing .

Not sure why the parents were not contacted - will ask my daughter

I would have been laughing. I wonder why they didn't contact the parents and ask for the key?

That's the sort of thing my twin grandsons would do. They've had me in toy handcuffs when they were three

I would have been a giggler.

Its just the sort of silly things that Kids do and its probably the bright kids with a bit of imagination. To the girls concerned I am sure it just seemed "a funny idea at the time" but as kids funny ideas do, it backfired.

The sort of stuff my DS might have done. I am afraid.

Yep! I too would have been a giggler Sel - Teachers are only human after all - well most are.

It must have been very hard to keep a straight face! (Unless you share Nonu's sense of humour).

I'd have been one of the gigglers Flower what a great story.

Just children! I do wonder where the handcuffs came from though, the mind boggles

Sounds horribly like the sort of thing my grandson would do! Hopefully he's not likely to get hold of any

here too

Each to his own Flower .

[ still masses about

I think it was a little amusing Nonu, if not a lot. It was only three teachers who could not see the funny side. The only down side was the fact that public money would have gone on involving the Fire Brigade and Police. In fact both the Police and the Fire Brigade were tickled pink.

Ha ha...did they not ring the parents and ask for the key? Would have loved to earwig on that convo!!

I take the view of the three teachers , it is really not amusing !

Blimey you don't half see it all Frank

Priceless Flowerofthewest and almost like something you would see in a comedy show.

Years ago I saw a police officer chasing somebody and he dropped his handcuffs.
He had the criminal on the floor a few yards from the handcuffs and somebody returned them to the officer.
I suppose they could have been dropped under similar circumstances and somebody took them.
